Where should I go now for more power? Nitrous? Super/Turbo? Stronger rear end with maybe some 3.73s or 4.10s? Forged internals(probably go 383 or 396 while Im at it)? After having a Neon SRT holding fairly well at 130mph(read FAIRLY well, still didnt win ) its time for more mods.

Get the rear end up to snuff, or just bust out the stroker $$ now and wait for the rear to break later on....

I would find out exactly what is wrong with my car first and foremost. I hope the remark about a Neon SRT hanging at all was a totally sarcastic remark???
With that cam and FULL boltons you should ABSOLUTELY with-out-a-doubt WALK that four cylinder car. If it was just a joke, then I would consider possibly 4.10s or a nice shot of Nitrous. You can also do a nice 355 buildup with forged parts and spray till your hearts content.

It was not a joke. And maybe I was pulling harder than I thought but I was busy looking straight. Your thoughts are exactly mine, I was VERY surprised he was holding as well as he did. It was too close for my likings. There is one thing missing really in my setup, I know you say I should be walking on him, but I only have DIY port and polished heads. My brother did them(he has experience machining), he always thought he did good but never had them flow benched. Sounds like I need to connect the laptop up and go log some runs and see if I can see anything afoot.
